Only one reader rose to the challenge; see the Winner’s Circle for details. For this week’s osprey-eyed reader contest, we have changed a person’s name. With the dozens and dozens of names in this issue of the Post, how could you pos- sibly know which name we changed? Well, the one we changed this week belongs to quite a famous person and loyal Post readers will recognize immediately that the name has been changed. If you are osprey-eyed enough to catch it, you should email [email protected]. If you’re among the first to ring in with the correct answer, page number, and so forth, we will publish your picture in next week’s edition -- or the picture of your spouse, child, grandchild, pet, favorite tree, biggest fish, or anything you want except feet. We don’t do feet.

Winner’s Circle

Only one reader on the entire Eastern Shore completed last week’s challenge, and he has earned the title of The Most Osprey-Eyed Reader of All Eastern Shore Post Readers (so far). Who is this clever puzzle solver? All hail Robert Moore, of Cape Charles, and his dog, Vegas, a fine pup to represent Moore in this week’s Winner’s Circle.

Fortunately, the Northampton SHOREBOTS (Team 1908) were able to participate in one competition before the remain- ing FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Sci- ence and Technology) robotics events were canceled across the country. Celebrating its 15th year in the FIRST program, the team made it to the quarterfinals at the Ches- apeake District Regional competition in Richmond March 6-8. The team has consistently made it to the quarterfinals throughout its history. To highlight the milestone 15th anniversary, the team designed spe- cial T-shirts that honored coach Rodney Walker and mentor Jim Goldstein, who founded the program in 2005. It is through coach Walker’s persistence and dedi- cation that Northampton’s program is the most endur- ing high school robotics team on the Eastern Shore.
